Rowers are expected to attend and participate fully in all practices, which will include on-water workouts, erg training, running, and general fitness training. Rowers will be training for the 2000-meter race distance and will travel to several regional races in the Spring season culminating with the USRowing Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships, where crews will have an opportunity to qualify for USRowing Youth National Championships. Rowers will be eligible for participation in regattas at the coaches’ discretion based on fitness, skill, effort, and practice attendance.
